The YouTube video platform has announced that, as of 2023, creators of Shorts will be part of the Partner Program.

YouTube will stop 55% of ads and leave content creators 45%. Here’s what you need to do to join the Partner Program and make money from short videos.

So you need to have over a thousand subscribers, four thousand hours of views in the last year and ten million views in 90 days for Shorts content. With these changes to the Partner Program, which will go into effect sometime early next year, YouTube hopes to attract more creators than TikTok, Instagram and other social media rivals.

If you live in a cave and didn’t know that until now, Shorts is a feature heavily inspired by TikTok, the network that popularized short videos. Through it, you can edit multiple pieces of video, add music and choose speed settings.
